There are better places...

Sunlight broke through tired eyelids.

A bright blue sky behind two figures above her.

One princess' smile, warm as the summer air around them.

The familiar voice of a prince, as kind and soothing to her heart as it had been in years past.

"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."

One gloved hand reaching down for her.

If you fall...

"Give me your hand."

I will be there...

Her hood falling as strong arms pulled her to her feet to hold her close and gentle.

To pull you back up.

"Welcome back."

"It's over now."


Wow. I actually finished a project... This is a first.

Thank you to everyone who actually followed this. Even bigger thank you to everyone who reviewed - you guys kept me motivated, and I never would've written almost 100K words if not for your encouragements :)

Have at me, MagatsuIza.
